Sparhawk:

Aircraft in CnC 3 could drop off only a certain amount of bombs per run such as, orcas two bombs and the NOD bomber one bomb. I'm wondering how many a shortsword should drop off per run.

I think three or more bombs because we won't be able to build as many shortswords as we can build bombers in CnC 3.

And how powerful should these bombs be, plus what would the covenant have as bombs for their bombers (if there are fighter planes/bombers in Halo Wars)?

Answer away...

To let you guys know a real cluster bomb would be only effective against infantry and vehicles. They wouldn't do to much to a building. Correct me if I'm wrong. The majority's of todays cluster bombs are designed to wipe out vehicles or infantry, and also to damage airfields. :) So if I see a cluster bomb destroying a building in Halo Wars it would be completely false.

I personally dont like bombing runs that do too much damage to building, cauze then its all just about who gets more aircraft to bomb the enym base inot oblivion, so i would rather prefer some payload that owns your forces rather than base.

True, but there are several type of cluster bombs. One type that I know of is designed to deal heavy damage to buildings.

Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

JUCT TO CLARAFY ONE LAST TIME orcas hsve 6 bombs.

also, aircraft destructivness can be easily put in its place uin games by making the players aircraft expensive, and making AA cheap and effective

Sublime-

bombing runs would be great against scarabs which took a while to charge up it's attack.

Just thought you should know lol.

Thanks for your excellent contribution.

Good point Cobalt...something like that for the Shortswords would be a fine addition to the game.

Would or should they have more then one of these bombs?

Fantastic input...thanks.

True...very true.

So you would happen to like more powerful bombs...okay.

I agree with your statement.

Intelligent input and thanks.

Thanks for your really well put out thoughts.

A bombing run probably could, and maybe you could make it like napalm for infantry, high explosives for scarabs and vehicles, or like ESM for disabling, and most likely two of these UNSC bombers  would kill a scarab or disable ithttp://halowars.com/images/screenshots/wallpaper.aspx?s=HW_1920x1200_6.jpg

Heck I don't even own the place. I am more like a gardener.

O.o are we flowers

Yes, it probably could.

Napalm doesn't seem like something the UNSC would use as a bomb....call it intuition. Although, if there are flood in MP a napalm bomb would be very handy.

I like the sound of high explosives...sounds spicy and dicy lol.

ESM sounds groovy.

It should take more then two UNSC sparrowhawks to disable and destroy the scarab. maybe about five.

Thanks for your well thought out contribution.

Have fun.

Haha i was thinking the longswords are like b-22s, carry about 20 bombs that are  500 pounds each, that should tear the scarab b/c a few tanks can kill a scarab, imean 40 bombs can do damage,

 

Shortswords are not longsswords, its like comparing a anti-tank to a bomber

I doubt we'll be able to produce longswords, as they seem too big to produce at the airfield in the demo vid...although you could use their bombing runs as a power.

I was talking about shortswords... five shortswords to destroy a scarab should work, they're good enough for the job at hand. I wasn't comparing the shortswords to the longswords...when it's likely longswords will not be in the game as a unit that can be produced at your base. They are space fighters, used against ships and other space craft (Seraphs and boarding craft etc).

Thanks for your contribution.

That would be good seeing shortswords destroying a scarab lol
